Manchester City could be ahead of everyone in its pursuit of Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson:
Sky Sports suggests that Manchester City are in pole position to sign Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson. Manchester United and Arsenal also want to bring in the 23-year-old, but there is an increasing belief that he will be playing at the Etihad next term, though The Athletic reports that City are also considering Chelseaâs Enzo FernĂĄndez for a midfield role. Elsewhere, City are looking at RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande and AFC Bournemouth striker Junior Kroupi as they aim to strengthen further up the pitch, although the former is also high on the shortlists of Bayern Munich and Liverpool. At one point, Bayern Munich was rumored to be looking at Anderson, but the price tag might have exceeded the threshold of what the Bavarians want to pay for the impressive 23-year-old.
Liverpool might be an obstacle for Bayern Munich on the way to acquiring Newcastle Unitedâs Anthony Gordon:
Liverpool are a major threat to Bayern Munich for the signing of Anthony Gordon, according to a German source, as TEAMtalk reveals how the Newcastle United winger views a potential move to Anfield.
Gordon is one of the best left-wingers in the Premier League, with Liverpool keen on securing the services of the Newcastle star in the summer transfer window. Liverpool were close to a deal for the winger in the summer of 2024, when Newcastle were facing PSR issues, and the Merseyside club are back on his trail.
TEAMtalkâs transfer insider, Graeme Bailey, reported on April 15 that Liverpool are planning to raid Newcastle for Gordon.
Gordon, whose âpace is frighteningâ, according to former Reds star Jamie Carragher on Blood Red: Liverpool FC in August 2024, grew up as a Liverpool fan and would find a move to Anfield very appealing.
Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain might be emerging as the two teams most interested in RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande:
Yan Diomandeâs agents are already in talks with Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain, says Bild. But RB Leipzig value the 19-year-oldâs transfer at around âŹ100 million and are confident they can persuade him to stay in Germany for another season at least. RB Leipzig wants to keep Diomande, but if the price tag continues to grow, *Die Roten Bullen* could cash out. Diomande has 13 goals and nine assists in 33 games across all competitions this season.
It seems like AC Milan is the frontrunner to land Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka, but Tottenham Hotspur could make a late run at him:

The Lilywhites are looking to bring Leon Goretzka to Hotspur Way in the off-season. The German midfielder is set to leave his current employers at the end of the season as his contract with Kompany & Co. runs out. And by the looks of it, Tottenham are placing themselves among the clubs vying for his signing.
Manchester United is scoping Juventus midfielder Teun Koopmeiners:
